A stock has a dividend growth rate of 2% and a required rate of return of 5%. Bad news reduces the dividend growth rate to 1%. Assuming next year’s dividend is unaffected (i.e., that the reduction in growth kicks in after that), what is the percentage change in the stock price?

(Expected return and standard deviation) What is the expected return and standard devia- tion of the return for the next year on a stock that is selling for $30 now and has probabil- ities of 0.2, 0.6, and 0.2 of selling one year from now at $24, $33, and $39, respectively? Assume that no dividends will be paid on the stock during the next year and ignore taxes?
Suppose a stock is not currently paying dividends, and its management has announced that it will not pay a dividend for several years, but that it does expect to start paying dividends sometime in the future. Under these conditions, which of the following statements is most correct? Since it is expected to someday pay dividends, the value of the stock today can be found with this equation: PO = D1/(r - g). Under these conditions, we can estimate a value for the stock, but we cannot use any form of the constant growth DCF model to do so. Such a stock should have a value of zero until it actually begins paying dividends. The value of the stock can be found using DCF procedures by finding the present value of expected future dividends accounting for their timing and amount.
The dividend-Growth model may be used to value a stock: V= D0 (1+g) / k-g What is the value of a stock if : D0 = $2 k = 10% g = 6% What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $3and the other variables remain constant? What is the value of this stock if the required return declines to 7.5 percent and the other variable remains constant? What is the value of this stock if the growth rate declines to 4 percent and the other variables remain constant? What is the value of this stock if the dividend is increased to $2.30, the growth rate declines to 4 percent, and the required return remains 10 percent?

A stock is selling today for $50 per share. At the end of the year, it pays a dividend of $3 per share and sells for $58 a. What is the total rate of return on the stock? b. What are the dividend yield and percentage capital gain? c. Now suppose the year-end stock price after the dividend is paid is $42. What are the dividend yield and percentage capital gain in this case? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers as a whole percent.)
Suppose that Do = $1.00 and the stock's last closing price is $26.25. It is expected that earnings and dividends will grow at a constant rate of g = 5.00% per year and that the stock's price will grow at this same rate. Let us assume that the stock is fairly priced, that is, it is in equilibrium, and the most appropriate required rate of return is rs = 9.00%. The dividend received in period 1 is D₁ = $1.00 × (1+0.0500) = $1.05 and the estimated intrinsic value in the same period is based on the constant growth model: P₁ = P² Using the same logic, compute the dividends, prices, and the present value of each of the dividends at the end of each period.

A stock is expected to pay a year-end dividend of $2.00, i.e., D₁ = $2.00. The dividend is expected to decline at a rate of 5% a year forever (g = -5%). If the company is in equilibrium and its expected and required rate of return is 15%, then which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The constant growth model cannot be used because the growth rate is negative. b. The company's dividend yield 5 years from now is expected to be 10%. c. The company's current stock price is $20. O d. The company's expected capital gains yield is 5%. e. The company's expected stock price at the beginning of next year is $9.50.
Suppose that Do = $1.00 and the stock's last closing price is $15.85. It is expected that earnings and dividends will grow at a constant rate of g = 3.50% per year and that the stock's price will grow at this same rate. Let us assume that the stock is fairly priced, that is, it is in equilibrium, and the most appropriate required rate of return is rs = 10.00%. The dividend received in period 1 is D1 = $1.00 × (1+0.0350) = $1.04 and the estimated intrinsic value in the same period is based on the D2 constant growth model: P₁: TS-8 Using the same logic, compute the dividends, prices, and the present value of each of the dividends at the end of each period.

A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $0.55 at the end of the year. The required rate of return is rs = 13.5%, and the expected constant growth rate is g = 7%. What is the stock's current price? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Please work out do not use excel
A stock is expected to pay a year-end dividend of $2.00, i.e., D1 = $2.00. The dividend is expected to decline at a rate of 5% a year forever (g = −5%). If the company is in equilibrium and its expected and required rate of return is 15%, which of the following statements is CORRECT? Group of answer choices The constant growth model cannot be used because the growth rate is negative. The company's dividend yield 5 years from now is expected to be 10%. The company's current stock price is $20. The company's expected stock price at the beginning of next year is $9.50.
(TCO D) A stock pays an annual dividend of $2.50 and that dividend is not expected to change. Similar stocks pay a return of 10%. What is PO?
